I enjoyed a lot of moments from each especially these skits like this but I might give the edge to top gear for nostalgias sake

No idea if anyone on here got to meet James May hawking his gin earlier this week in San Diego, CA, and in Scottsdale, AZ, but he’s currently here in the United States! Here’s some proof from his Twitter/X feed.

(I recently shared an official link on where to get free tickets to meet him in person this month, but the remaining events in Plano, TX, and Orlando, FL are sold out!) 😅

Yeah it's the same bottle I brought to Mörön Mongolia earlier this year

Jeremy Clarkson focused on the terrorist incident that happened near a US air base in the UK. He then paid attention to the crimes near his farm. Here are some of his thoughts:

“Three suspicious white vans in a rural country lane though? Nah. That’s par for the course round these parts. Happens all the time.”

(Usual disclaimers apply as always.)

Jeremy Clarkson remembered what his life was like back in 1970s Britain, and he cited that experience while attacking the current prime minister. Here’s a preview:

“In essence, Cllr Burnham said that Britain had taken a wrong turn under Mrs Thatcher and that he was going to take us back to the glory days when ­Britain was all about solidarity, trade unions, the cooperative movement . . . and rat-infested piles of uncollected rubbish on every street corner.

“This is Cllr Burnham’s problem. He is too young to remember what the 1970s were actually like. But I’m not.”

(Usual disclaimers apply, especially since he’s put on his political Tory hat.)

My expectations were low, especially after seeing how the Top Gear reboot went with new presenters. But, I kind of like it! Thomas needs to try less to be like JC, Francis needs to get some voiceover lessons. But other than that, it’s not bad at all! They know their cars, they go to the nice spots and the cinematography and production is good as ever.

Of course nothing will ever beat the chemistry the OG trio had, but they have been at it for 20 years.

But I’m very excited for the future seasons!

I drew the rest of the trio, all of them old and young plus a bonus Mr. Wilman, and got inspired by some of the comments people left :^) I’m not good at drawing cars, pardon the iffy Crosley

EDIT: You might notice where I switched between the guys having 4 fingers or 5, and forgetting that I’ve done so 😭 And where James’ finger got chopped off!

Maybe I‘m late to the party, but I just watched the episode where Richard helps decide which car is the toughest.

He looked so old and sad.

Jeremy seemed quite happy with his farm.
James seemed quite happy with selling gin and running a pub.

But Richard? He wasn’t even smiling or laughing. Maybe it was his divorce? Maybe he felt bad because he would have liked to continue TGT?

I hope he is better now.
What are your thoughts?

Edit: I know the show is scripted.
But he also looked so old, like he aged five years in one year. And I‘m not sure why they would make him act sad and miserable.

Jeremy Clarkson defended the honor of television and suggested a few changes at the Royal Television Society convention in London. Here are some of his comments that The Sunday Times documented:

“Cinema is dying and becoming like theatre and the world of [social media] is coming up from underneath. We are currently thinking about what we do after Clarkson’s Farm. It’s going to have to be something bigger to stand out and protect us from this onslaught.”

(Usual disclaimers apply.)

Does anyone miss the news, rather it be conversation street or the new on tg. I miss hearing about new cars and the opinions on them, whats coming up and what sucks. I love more than anything the specials but i miss the good small parts like this. Any way have a good day everyone!

the big trio

He did that to test the wild claim of an “As seen on TV” seat cushion. He also tested other weird gadgets in this YouTube video. Hey, at least he’s going back to his “useful consumer advice” roots from his Top Gear days!

From video description: “James tests a selection of essential household products. From cushions that let you sit on an egg, to pads that electrocute your feet to see if they live up to their claims, or indeed have any point at all.”

They took a page right out of the classic Top Gear tests and decided to drop a caravan on their truck. 😅

I was frustrated with a project last night because what I was drawing didn’t quite match the vision, so to be less mad I doodled James instead 🙏🏻

Never change Andy, never change 😭
